Spectacular!! i thought i knew a few things about birds...
I have a long and strong interest in birds, with two pet sparrows, other close bird interests, and hundreds of hours studying robins,crows swifts, gulls,peacocks etc . Birds have been the main focus of my artwork. So i expected to enjoy the series but maybe not find a lot of new or surprising information. Wrong! Most of the content so far has been new to me, either species i had never heard ... ...i did know something about. After renting and watching half of the first DVD, i ordered the whole set. This will be one of the few that i will watch, and show to friends, over and over.
I can't speak directly for people who think they have no interest in birds, but that should be no deterrent. If you have any interest in the world around you, watch this video.
The videography is breathtaking; narration is great; story interest, and organization ...
Advantages: So educational and interesting. Beautiful footage Disadvantages: None what so ever!

...our favourite documentaries came from the life of mammals series, so I decided to buy my boyfriend the complete 'The Life of Mammals' box set for his birthday.
The box set itself comes in a cardboard sleeve, and the inside of the box set containing the dvds unfolds so that you can see all of the dvds at the same time. The front cover of the box set has a picture of a tiger on the front of it surrounded by some water and in big letters at the top ... ...bottom 'David Attenborough'

...faced bunch of Royal Marine Commando recruits all the way through 32 weeks of basic training. With complete access to every part of the training process he follows the good times and the bad of each of the recruits and something that I felt made the documentary that little more exciting was that he also took part in the training himself, Chris Terrill was 55 years old. The Program was originally aired in 2007 for ITV; at the beginning you see the ... ...of becoming a Royal Marine Commando and receiving the coveted Green Beret so that they can become elite soldiers that look a million miles away from the guys that they were 32 weeks earlier.
